Best Practices for Taking a USA Crew Visa Picture

  • To prevent severe facial shadows, use gentle artificial lighting or natural daylight.
  • Make sure you're facing a plain white or light-colored wall.
  • The camera should be at eye level. Seventy to eighty percent of the picture should be your face.
  • Wear dark solid colors; avoid white shirts that merge with the background.
  • Avoid distortion by using a tripod or having someone snap the image instead of selfies.
